No surprise that the fight started off with Warpath and Twilight both trying to overwhelm each others defenses.  With such similar power-sets they were always going to be well matched, the power and versatility of the two meaning it was always going to end in fireworks.  It would be interesting to see who would come out victorious.  Either way it would be a humbling experience for the loser.  [i]Both could stand to be humbled.[/i]

Poltergeist wasted no time in deploying his powers against Quantum.  Using his telekinesis he picked up several of the heavy weights that were dotted around the battlefield, simultaneously splitting his concentration to hold the ranger in place, then with a surge of effort he hurled his makeshift projectiles at his opponent.  He wasn't left with a moment of peace though as he was then assaulted by the light and fury of Twilight's attacks.  He threw up an invisible forcefield of his own, but that could not help him from being temporarily blinded by her efforts 

Even Fenrir, on the edges of the battlefield, was a little disoriented by Juno's flashbang attack.  He could only imagine how badly it affected Warpath - who also had enhanced senses - and the rest of his team.  He was left a little worried by the effect it could have on Belle, but he had made the choice to place her on the battlefield.  He would just have to hope she would be able to handle it.  So far she seemed to be in control of herself.

Molotov, perhaps not surprisingly, refused to follow Twilight's orders for laying down supporting fire, instead directing all his energies towards his most vulnerable enemy, Thorn.  With a growl he began to ignite several fireballs before speeding them towards the tree-man.  

The confusion of explosive energy attacks booming and blasting across the battlefield gave Madcap to sprint across the field, making a beeline for the enemy flag.  She was obviously hoping that Thorn would be so distracted with his own problems that he would not be able to stop her.
